Battle of the best

Carson Wentz and Dak Prescott rank first and tied for second, respectively, in combined passing & rushing touchdowns this season (Wentz 23, Prescott 21). Only four previous players in the Super Bowl era have led the NFL in combined passing and rushing touchdowns within their first two seasons: Daunte Culpepper (2000), Kurt Warner (1999), Dan Marino (1984), and Steve Grogan (1976).

Most valuable Wilson

Russell Wilson has accounted for 82.1 percent of the Seahawks scrimmage yards this season (including passing yardage), the highest such percentage by any player in a season in the Super Bowl era. Wilson has been responsible for 2,833 (2,543 passing, 290 rushing) of Seattle's 3,449 yards this season.

Dominant duo

The Steelers have both the NFL's leading rusher (Le'Veon Bell, 840 rushing yards) and receiver (Antonio Brown, 882 receiving yards) this season. They could become the third team in NFL history to have both for a full season, joining the 1999 Colts (Edgerrin James & Marvin Harrison) and 1991 Cowboys (Emmitt Smith & Michael Irvin).

New JuJu

JuJu Smith-Schuster has more receptions (14 to 12), receiving yards (329 to 182), and receiving touchdowns (3 to 1) than Antonio Brown in the last 3 games. Ben Roethlisberger's 147.5 passer rating when targeting JuJu this season is the highest among any quarterback-wide receiver combination with 30+ targets.

No picks for Tom

Tom Brady has the NFL's longest active streak of pass attempts without an interception (132), and the streak is likely to continue Sunday. The Raiders are the first team in NFL history to have zero interceptions in their first nine games of a season.

In new territory

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick could join an unexpected group of players and coaches to win a game in three different countries if they earn a victory in Mexico. The only two quarterbacks with a win in three countries are Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jay Cutler, and the only head coach with a win in three countries is Lovie Smith (all three in USA, Canada, and England). Brady and Belichick have already won games in the USA and England.

These Saints are marchin'

Mark Ingram is on pace for 1,536 scrimmage yards this season. Alvin Kamara, the other half of the Saints backfield duo, is on pace for 1,404 scrimmage yards. Ingram and Kamara would be the second running back duo in NFL history to each amass 1,400+ scrimmage yards in a season, joining the 1985 Browns (Earnest Byner: 1,462 scrimmage yards & Kevin Mack: 1,401 scrimmage yards)
